ALUMNI & FRIENDS | Ten University of Delaware alumni were honored as recipients of the Presidential Citation for Outstanding Achievement during a ceremony held in October as part of Homecoming Weekend.

UD President Patrick Harker told the attendees, “In a community of more than 165,000 living Blue Hens, we have our fair share of exceptional alumni— graduates who embody the UD ideals of excellence, of talent, discipline, passion, and vision. Tonight’s honorees join a much smaller, more distinguished group of 233 members.”

Harker thanked the recipients for “being leaders who give back. I thank you for caring about this University and its students. I thank you for your generosity of time and talent, of intellect and energy. I thank you for helping us build a better UD, not just by the distinction of your achievements, but by the power of your service and the wisdom of your counsel. I thank you for constantly renewing your relationship with the University, for showing us the strength in community, for living our mission every day in your commitment to excellence, and for helping us graduate young men and women whom we hope to recognize with an honor like this a few years from now.”
